Episode 10

Where do I begin with this one? I suppose there was more than one kind of meatball on this Dominos Pizza task, the winning meatballs and then those that acted like meatballs!

For starters, Chris, I thought about it before, but now I'm convinced, you may really need to consider taking some serious anger management classes. Whew, like Tana said, "It's JUST pizza." Settle down or you'll bust a blood vessel. I mean, we've all argued during these tasks. Lord knows the women of Season 2 could have fought on the front lines of Normandy, but you my friend have taken anger to a whole new level. If it just happened once, I'd say "whatever." But time and time again you've simply blown up at just about everyone…in the suite, on tasks and in the boardroom. It's just not good, (or healthy for that matter). Hell, I don't get scared of much but let me tell you, I'd have locked my self in, well, the shower, (since it's the only room with doors in the suite). Most memorably, you made Angie cry once and she's a tough chick. But then you scared Alex to death (although that didn't seem too difficult) - actually, his response was quite weak.

With that said, Alex my man, toughen up! Although I think you are a strong player and got a raw deal by having to switch teams, you really didn't have to go cry to Stephanie about the spat you had with Chris, unless of course that was your way of diverting Stephanie's attention away from bringing you into the boardroom. You have proven yourself to be one of the most intelligent men in this game, and like I've said before, you're one of my top "under the radar players."

So to Alex and Chris, although your team lost this meatball-themed pizza task, you surely won the reward for acting like the two biggest "he said, he said, aggressive vs. passive aggressive" meatballs on this task. Well done.

Moving on, is it me or is anyone else noticing that the big guy's kind of stealing the show these days? Seems to me that DT's even funnier than ever and even taking a new kind of interest in the candidates (never seen until now). Since when did he start giving advice for the boardroom? Wish we had received some of that when we were competing. It would have made a world of difference, let me tell you. The thing is, when the big guy tells you what he wants or likes, you better listen carefully and do exactly what he says or else. This time, he gave Stephanie advice about exactly how to handle the boardroom upon her return and then he gave advice to Chris when he left to go up to the suite. Amazing! The thing is Stephanie didn't listen - or if she did, she just couldn't handle being as tough as DT had asked her to be and was ultimately fired for it. Hint: at this stage of the game, you have to fight, kill and claw your way through that boardroom. The big guy loves it. I believe it's why he likes Chris so much. As volatile as Chris seems, he's a fighter and fortunately or unfortunately, that's what it takes!

So here we are, more then halfway through the competition with the final seven remaining. Kendra and Tana are my personal contenders for the top two. Although the two are unique personalities, they really seem to know how to play "the game," when to step up and when to lay low. As for Alex, Bren and Craig, my guess is that two of you will make it to the top four - and maybe beyond. And as for Angie and Mr. Anger Management, my guess is that one of you will be packing your bags pretty soon, so don't forget your dry cleaning on the way out. It's in the front hall closet.

Best of luck to the last remaining.

Sincerely,

Your Apprentice Alumna,
Jennifer D. Crisafulli
